Description

Broadway Bound Productions announces the World Premier of its upcoming original musical comedy, Ruby and the Bookmarks by Bill Purdie. BBP specializes in producing only new, original works. BBP provides playwrights the opportunity to have their original works produced, which is the first step in getting them published.

Ruby and the Bookmarks is a fast-paced, jukebox musical comedy that uses familiar songs from the 50’s, 60’s and beyond to tell the story of “Ruby” and “James”—how they meet, fall in love and build a life together. According to director, Ralph Zaffino, “audiences will ‘rock out’ with such standards as ‘Diana,’ ‘Where or When’ and ‘Rock and Roll is Here to Stay,’ as well as reminisce with such favorites as ‘At Last,’ ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’ and ‘I Only Want to be with You.’” Choreographer/Producer, Cheryl Lambert agrees that “audiences will enjoy the upbeat, entertaining story and I hope that Canton audiences will appreciate seeing something new and original.”

The stellar cast includes Karina Simonis of Waleska in the title role of “Ruby” and Justin Brown of Atlanta as “James.” “The Bookmarks,” the “singing group” that chronicles the history of “Ruby” and “James,” includes Carlye McLaughlin of Woodstock and brother/sister team, Hanna and Bryson Slaughter of Dahlonega. Mary Madden once again assumes Stage Manager duties, while Taylor White and Joe Rebele run lights and sound.

Ruby premiers at the Canton Theatre in Canton, GA on Friday, May 12 and continues May 13, 19 and 20 at 7:30 with Sunday matinees May 14 and 21 at 2:00 pm. To celebrate the World Premier, a free champagne reception to honor playwright, Bill Purdie, will follow the May 12 performance. Tickets are $22 for Adults and $18 for Students/Seniors and are now available from BBP’s new, improved website: www.broadwayboundproductionsinc.com or by calling 770-720-2698. Tickets will also be available at the box office 1 hour before each performance. Call BBP for their special rate for groups of 10 or more.
